Constituting the biggest challenge in any manufacturing company's product delivery, operational excellence can be accomplished by obtaining the best Quality, Cost, and Delivery (QCD). The delivery parameter has been an issue for the ABC Company, an Indonesian auto part manufacturer, having automotive manufacturers as customers, since its cycle time has been found to be lower than its takt time. This could jeopardize the company's status in that it could degrade its customer service level. Thus, the company immediately initiated a quality control circle, especially when it was revealed that its production cycle time in Core Assy Line 3 was 49 s more than its targeted 41.7 s takt time. The team was then committed to reducing it to 39.2 s, accounting for a 20% reduction. A method named 8 steps and 7 tools was deployed under the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach to solve the specific problem. This method guided the team to find five root causes of the problem, while five solutions were equivalently provided. As a result, the achieved cycle time reduction was from 49 to 38.9 s, that is, a 21% decrease, capable of securing the company's relationship with its customers and granting an order increase.

Objective: This study aims to enhance compliance with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) prevention care measures post-gynecologic oncology surgery (GOS) through quality control circle (QCC) activity, aiming to improve patient recovery outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. Methods: A 6-month QCC activity was conducted within the hospital, employing the ten-step plan-do-check-act model for QCC activity. The root causes of inadequate implementation of LLL prevention care measures were analyzed, leading to the development of relevant strategies and protocols. Compliance rates of preventive care measures pre- and post-QCC activity were compared. Results: The focus of this improvement initiative was on “inadequate postoperative preventive measures” and “lack of standardized discharge preventive measures.” Strategies included ensuring nurses proficiently assess LLL following gynecologic malignancy surgeries, enhancing standardized preventive measures for LLL post-GOS, and establishing personalized and diversified education models. Following the implementation of QCC activity, there was a significant improvement in the compliance rate of LLL prevention care measures. The compliance rate increased from 74.00% before the activity to 92.80%, surpassing the target rate by 119.00%, with an improvement rate of 25.40%. Comprehensive evaluations of circle members’ abilities showed significant improvement, with notable increases in problem-solving abilities, initiative, and confidence. Conclusion: Implementation of QCC activity resulted in a substantial improvement in compliance with LLL prevention care measures following GOS, ensuring safer and more effective patient care services.

The pre-analytical phase is particularly error-prone, contributing to around 70% of laboratory errors. High specimen rejection rates can delay diagnosis and treatment, cause patient discomfort, and increase healthcare costs. Quality Control Circles (QCC) have been introduced to medical institutions to improve process efficiency and reduce errors. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of QCC practices in reducing specimen rejection rates in a hospital clinical laboratory.Methods: A QCC initiative was implemented in the clinical laboratory from July 2021 to August 2022. The QCC comprised members from the clinical laboratory, nursing department, and administration. The initiative followed the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle and involved multiple quality control methods, including flowchart analysis, Pareto analysis, and Fishbone diagrams. The effectiveness of the initiative was evaluated using statistical analyses of specimen rejection rates before and after implementation.Results: The QCC initiative led to a significant reduction in specimen rejection rates. The monthly specimen rejection rate decreased from an average of 1.13% before the intervention to 0.27% after the intervention. The most significant factors contributing to specimen rejection were identified as lack of sample collection information and blood clotting. Targeted interventions, such as appointing specimen collection liaisons, establishing a quality control team, and providing training on blood collection procedures, were implemented. These measures resulted in a notable decrease in the proportion of rejected specimens due to the identified factors.Conclusion: The implementation of QCC practices effectively reduced specimen rejection rates in the hospital laboratory. The study highlights the importance of systematic quality control methods and targeted interventions in improving laboratory processes. The success of the QCC initiative demonstrates its potential for broader application in other healthcare settings to enhance quality and efficiency.Keywords: quality control circle, specimen rejection, quality improvement, PDCA cycle, Pareto analysis

Correct usage and maintenance of the enteral nutrition feeding pump system is always a challenge in nutrition support for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there are few studies on the sustained accuracy improvement of the enteral nutrition feeding system in discharged CRC patients. Here, we established a seven-month quality control circle (QCC) activity with the theme of improving the performance of home enteral feeding pumps (EFP) and examined the effect of QCC activity on the nutritional state and quality of life in discharged CRC patients. We enrolled 100 discharged CRC patients treated with home enteral nutrition from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between March 2020 and December 2021. The patients were randomly split into two research groups: one participated in the QCC activity (n = 50) and the other did not (n = 50). QCC analysis indicated that the top 3 causes of EFP inaccurate usage are the simple and boring contents of training, various types of pumps, no examination rules, and lack of management. Furthermore, both intra- and inter-group comparisons showed that QCC significantly improved the patients’ pass rate of nutrition pump operation from 52 to 70% after 1-month of activity, which gradually improved and got the highest (90%) after 3 months (p

Background: Good adherence to post-operative exercise is crucial for long-term exercise intervention programs aimed at improving compliance, motivation for functional exercise, and quality of life among breast cancer patients. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of quality control circles on postoperative functional exercise compliance in breast neoplasm patients. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases from their establishment to May 06, 2023. Manual search and backtracking of relevant literature were also conducted. The search terms included a combination of subject terms and free words. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software on eligible literature. Results: Initially, 517 papers were retrieved, and after removing duplicates 238 papers using NoteExpress software, 279 titles and abstracts were reviewed. Subsequently, 225 non-compliant papers were excluded, leaving 54 full texts to be read. After excluding 38 non-compliant papers, 16 eligible papers were included for Meta-analysis. These papers comprised a total of 1,342 patients (679 in the test group and 663 in the control group). The heterogeneity test using a fixed effects model showed P = 0.22 and I2 = 21%. The Meta-analysis results demonstrated that the implementation of quality control circles alongside usual care significantly improved compliance with postoperative functional exercise in breast cancer patients (odds ratio = 6.68, 95% confidence interval (4.97, 8.98), P < 0.00001). Conclusion: Quality control circles activities can effectively enhance compliance with post-operative functional exercise among breast cancer patients, aiding in the recovery of affected limb function, improvement of self-care ability, and early reintegration into society and normal life, thereby enhancing quality of life. It is important to continually accumulate experience in applying relevant quality control circles activities in clinical work and promptly enhance the level of care accordingly, as the functional exercise of breast cancer patients after surgery involves a long-term and gradual improvement process.

Every individual employee contributes to the success (or failure) of company business. So, the personnel management goal is to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of the workforce. But without a clear understanding of which factors influence employee performance, it won't be easy to sustain success. This research aims to analyze the influence of the quality control circle on employee performance and productivity with employee motivation as the mediator. A quality circle or quality control circle is a group of workers who meet regularly to identify, analyze and solve work-related problems. The research sample are the 50 PT Suzuki Indomobil Motor company's employees. The authors use a quantitative approach based on analytical methods using structural equation modelling (SEM). Data for this study were collected using a questionnaire and then processed with smartPLS application. This research indicates that the quality control circle positively and significantly affects employee motivation, productivity, and performance. Employee motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, employee motivation has no positive and significant impact on employee productivity. The mediation results show that motivation cannot mediate the effect of the quality control circle on employee performance and productivity. This research showed that employee performance and employee motivation could be improved by increasing the quality control circle activities' quality.
